GROUP
INFORMATION
Visiting
Pashley
Planning your
Visit
We recommend a minimum of two hours to
visit the Gardens, however, most groups stay much longer
than this, enjoying the delicious lunches and teas available
from the Garden Room Café. The house is a family home
and regrettably not open to the public.

£7.50 per person |

Personally
Conducted Tours of the Garden led by either James
Sellick (the Owner), or the Head Gardener, Keith
Boylett, may be arranged. The tours last 1-1½ hours.
The cost for up to 25 people is £112.50,
plus Admission Fee, for over 25 people an extra £4.50
is charged for each additional person.
Alternatively, a short introductory talk can be arranged which lasts 15 -20 minutes
at a cost of £35.00 for up to approximately 35 people. This talk gives
a brief history of both Pashley Manor and the Gardens.

| The Garden Room Café |
|
It
is not compulsory for groups to pre-book refreshments,
but the Café operates
a buffet style service and it would be very
helpful to know your requirements prior to your visit
and how you wish to pay.
Please note that on Special
Event Days as the Café operates with a slightly
simplified menu, set menus are not available.
In fine weather
picnics may be taken in the Car Park field, and adjacent field, with marvelous
views over the surrounding hills.
There are a few picnic
tables and benches in the field but we regret picnics
may not be taken in the Gardens.
Please ensure you
take all of your litter home with you. |
Parking
Pashley Manor is situated
on the B2099 – just
off the A21. Parking is available for up to 5 coaches (and
there is ample parking for cars). Coach drivers enter the
Gardens free of charge, and will be presented with a Refreshment
Voucher on arrival.
Booking
Procedure & Payment
|
|
Sadly, we have experienced
late cancellations in the past, which have cost us
money; therefore we have reluctantly had to impose
a £50.00 booking charge (£100 non-refundable
deposit for bookings during the Tulip Festival, see
note below) which is refundable in the event of cancellations
notified to us more than 14 days before the visit.
When you have made a provisional date for your visit,
would you kindly telephone to check that we have availability
before sending us your booking form.
Please do not e-mail booking forms but
return them by post with the deposit cheque.
|
Note for visits during a Special
Event
As it can be very busy on Special Events
days, and the number of Groups we are able to take is restricted,
early booking is recommended; for the Tulip Festival we have
occasionally had to turn away bookings so we will require
a £100
deposit for bookings during the Tulip Festival, which will
be non refundable. Should you wish to send a coach at the
last moment you are always welcome to telephone and we will
do our very best to fit you in.
|
Upon receipt of your group booking
form we will send a letter of confirmation and
a pre-payment voucher / receipt.
The balance must be paid on the day
by cheque, cash or credit card.
It is very helpful if
the Organiser or Guide collects entrance money before
arriving at Pashley and presents one payment.

Important
Notice
We regret that we can accept
no liability for any accident, loss or damage to persons
or property on the estate.
